Sorry just seen your reply. it is probably too late now but the place I mentioned near to the level crossing has been and is still open!

I can confirm this. It's called Dr. Shoes.

Sorry CRAB you are confusing this matter. Just refer to my original post.
This Shoe Repairer and repairer of many leather products and zips etc is on Riab Tang Fai road which runs outside the HH railway station. Come out of the station and turn left towards Soi70 Chomsin Road. Before you get to the new round-a-bout ( say 500mts from the station) the shop is about the last one on the left hand side. he has been there for very many years and is still there.

Sorry for the confusion. In that case there are still two active shoe repair places by the railway line. Good.
